Advance Praise

Two Goodreads ARC 5 star reviews:

'I am an ARC reader and this is my honest opinion. This is a really good book. It was captivating from the first couple of pages and never let up. It has everything required for a good suspense thriller. One young girl's life is shattered by a tragedy and another is full of hate. I have to say, from that first scene, I guessed the basic scenario that started the events in the book unfolding, but the twists and tangents the story went into kept me guessing right up to the time the author chose to reveal the surprising truth. Set on the beautiful Isle of Wight (of fond holiday memories) with very convincing characters, a dramatic finale, and a final scene giving a particularly unpleasant character the truth about himself that I took pleasure in, all in all, a masterpiece.'


'This is a gripping book that had me reading into the wee small hours. The story follows Amelia who is living a happy, peaceful life working in her flower shop on the Isle of Wight. Things are about to change drastically when Amelia is targeted by a mystery person.

Although this is part of a series, it is easily read as a standalone and this is testament to the author's writing skills. Englefield succeeds in creating an exciting, fast paced read with more strands than the most impressive bouquet of flowers.

The characters are incredibly well fleshed out and I was rapidly turning the pages desperate to find out what was next as there were twists and turns galore. I'm grateful to BookSirens for the ARC and this is my honest opinion.

The conclusion was tied up as neatly as a perfectly wrapped present with no loose ends and I can't wait to read more books by this author. Highly recommended for fans of police procedurals with drama and suspense.'
